Somebody must like me a little bit upstairs. I just got a job offer today. The position isn't fabulous and the pay isn't horrible (although not great), but it is still nice to have somebody want you. I also got an email from someone from a lab at UA. His lab is going thru a high turnover right now as his 2 grad students have just graduated and took postdoc positions elsewhere and his lab manager is leaving to take a management position at a biotech company. He is awaiting news on a grant and isn't sure he wants to hire someone right now, but will keep me in mind, especially if this grant goes thru. His lab is also about to move into a new space in about a month and a half. He may decide he wants to hire someone in October should the grant go thru; so the news isn't fabulous, but it is nice that he is keeping me in mind. I'm thinking of maybe taking the one job that I got the offer on and see what happens with this other lab in a few months. I don't like the idea of getting trained and leaving, but I hate being in debt even more. Any thoughts on this anyone?
